Steinbeck Has Made Thorough Canvass uf State for Nomination. August H. Steinbeck of this city is winding up his campaign (or the Republican nomination or State Treasurer in St. Louis this week. During the past two months. Mr. Steinbeck has waged a thorough and aggressive campaign and has covered many thousand miles of highway. Before leaving for St. Louis yesterday evening, Mr. Steinbeck issued the following statement regarding an attack being made upon him by an organization in this county: Mr. Steinbeck is completing a two weeks' campaign in St. Louis, city and county, and his supporters there claim f ' M U A v i iMrge Republican Vote Expected In County at Primary Election One of the largest votes ever cast at a primary election In Franklin County is expected to be polled by the Republicans next Tuesday when candidates will be nominated by the various parties for United States Senator, Congress, state offices, and district, county and township offices. Regarding the Congressman race, for which thirteen are to be nominated. There has been a great deal of discussion and some statements on the fact that if a vcter votes for more than 13 that it would destroy his whole ballot. For that purpose, we asked Prosecuting Attorney Tibbe for an opinion and he securing the opinion from the attorney general's office. The question and answer Is as follows: "In the Congressional election, If the voter votes for more than thirteen candidates, will such error destroy the entire ballot or will the voter lose only his vote for the Congressional candidates?""Answering your question, you are advised that a voter who leaves the names of fourteen or more candidates for Congressman at large will lose his vote only in so far as the candidates for Congressmen at large are concerned. By voting for fourteen or more Congressmen, will nob cause the voter to lose his vote on candidates running for offices other than Congressmen at large." Other reasons why a large Republican vote will likely be cast in Franklin County are the closely contested campaigns for county offices such as representatives, county Judge of the second district, prosecuting attorney and sheriff. The fact that Franklin County has a candidate for Skate treasurer in the person of A. H. Steinbeck of this city will also bring out votes In the primary that would otherwise, probably, remain at home. Franklin county also has two other candidates on the Republican ballot. W. L. Cole for Judge of the Supreme Court and Carl J. Otto for Congressman.A sample primary ballot such as you will receive at the polls Tuesday appears elsewhere in this Issue of The Republican-Tribune. In voting, it is necessary to draw a line through all the names for whom you do NOT wish to vote. Where there Is but one candidate for an office nothing need be marked there, and you automatically vote for him .unless you strike out the name. IOC A! H. STEINBECK.: that he will carry St. Louis and St. Lculs county by a great majority. His headquarters in Union have also brii assured that he will receive a large vote in all of the river counties in i eastern Missouri, such as Cole. Osage. Gasconade, Warren. St. Charles, Jefferson, Franklin. Ste. Oenevieve, Perry, Cape Girardeau, a? well as the cut-roundint counties. Reports from Jop-lln, Springlleld and St. Joseph also indicate that Mr. Steinbeck will receive substantial majorities in those counties.The apparent drift towards Mr. Steinbeck's candidacy in all pnrts of the state is due to his large personal following throughout the state as well as his record us Secretary of the State Tax Commission, Deputy State Labor Commissioner and Commissioner of Paroles and Pard.ins on the State Penal Board during the first two years ol the Baker administration, and the fact that he is not attached to federal, state or county payroll. His headquarters points out that because of Mr. Steinbeck's peuliar litness for public trust and the statewide confidence of the people that he has gained through his service, h's nomination will add much strength and prestige to the Republican ticket in November. Recent Act to Help Recent passage or the Home Loan Bunk Act, establishing a national credit reservoir of $125,000,000 for immediate relief of the home financing structure, will result in a greater financial aid for the United States than any other relief measure enacted by Congress, in the opinion of James L. Mc-Guie, president cf the Missouri State League cf Building und Loan Associations.Incidentally, McQuie pointed out, passage of the bill marks the first Federal recognition of building, savings and loan institutions during their century of history. For more than 100 years, he emphasized, heme financing institutions have conducted their business unaided by national credit agencies.The record maintained by building and loan associations," McQuie continued, "points to the stability of their organization. Since establishment cf the first association in 1831, more than 8,000,000 homes have been financed by building and loan stock, and holdings of associations throughout the United States now total nearly $9,000,-000."There has been a very slight decline in the number of building and loan associations in Missouri as compared with other states. There are now 240 associations in this state with assets of more than $200,000,000. "Undoubtedly the home loan bank plan will aid more persons than any other relief bill enacted by Congress. A Federal survey early this year indicated that more than $250,000,000 worth of home remodeling and modernization was being held up because of inadequate first mortgage financing. The home loan bank system will give an impetus to this work and will be a tremendous factor in relievingunemployment."

See the ad in this Issue. 17 Day Bank Moratorium in Hermann After many meetings, conferences and deliberations the three largest banks In Hermann and in the county lust night (Friday) concluded to give up their Individuality, form a new bank and eventually fade out of the picture. The three banks, the only ones in Hermann, are the Hermann Savings Bank, the oldest in Gasconade county and among the oldest In the state, the Peoples Bank and the Farmers Sc Merchants Bank. The Hermann Savings Bank was organized in 1867 and has a capital of $60,000 and a $60,000 rurplus. The Peoples Bank was organized in 1904 and Is capitalized at $25,000 and with $35,000 surplus. The Farmers & Merchants Bank was organized in 1904 and has a $30,000 capital and $20,000 surplus. We are informed that the banks are solvent. The decision to form a new bank was caused by a desire to clean house and begin with a new, clean slate, free from doubtful securities of every kind and unhampered by depreciated bonds and real estate loans such as are giving headaches to bankers the world over. The general condition of the country and business, the depression and deflation have worked havoc with th? bond market and old banks with heavy bond holdings know not from day to day whether or not their capital and surplus be impaired. As quotations rise or slump on the mercurial seal; of values, the bank directors daily face the possibility of insolvency, not in the spirit but in the letter of the law. To allow our three banks, with assets of over two million, ample time to put their house in order and to Lhnrnuchlv go into the banking situation and with j the purpose of consolidating the three banks into one, thus conserving the Rood assets of all. Mayor L. R. Went-zcl this morning issued a proclamation declaring the period July 22 to August 7, 1932, a bank holiday. During that period our banks will not be open to the public for business.

F. A. A little dopster for the M. F. A. with the Washington Citizen as a medium, and I presume with the sanction of William Hirth, has stated that I am opposed to the M. F. A., and its success as a farm organization. Why he should tell such lies about me I do not know. I think it more a matter of ignorance on his part than a curscdness in spirit. I have always passed as a man of at least average intelligence, and that being true, I know of no reason why I should oppose the M. F. A. and its success. In fact I have given the M. F. A. more constructive publicity than any other publication in Franklin county. I have not advised the farmers to hold their wheat for $3.00 a bushel when it was selling for better than $2.50, and then were compelled to take $1.50 or less. This sin cannot be laid at my door. I have never by word of mouth or through the columns of The Tribune offered one word of destructive criticism of the M. F. A. and the files of the paper will bear me out in this statement. I did criticize William Hirth for his criticism of the Farm Board and its personnel before it was given a chance to function. The Farm Board, bi-partisan in makeup, was a fulfilment of a promise made to the farmers of the United States, and the members were appointed upon the recommendation of the farmers of the U. S. A. Mr. Hirth failed to be appointed a member of this board, and this may have been the cause of his criticism of it. The Farm Board is not our baby, and we offer for it no defense at this time. In politics, Mr. Hirth is a died in the wool Democrat. To this he has as much right as we have to being a Republican. He has never supported a Republican for office. He may have supported a Republican for the nomination when he knew at the outset he would not be nominated. As Secretary of the State Board of Equalization in 1922, 1 was instrumental in having the assessed valuation of farm lands reduced 10 per cent for Franklin county. I know the farm problem as intimately as any one since I was born and reared on a farm, and received much of my growth while walking between the plow handles. I know the tax burden, not only of farmers but of all people, and I solemnly pledge my best efforts as State Treasurer, and as a member of the State Board of Equalization, to lighten that burden for the tax paying people of Missouri. Respectfully submitted, A. II. STEINBECK. Candidate for State Treasurer. Circuit Court to Convene Here Monday The regular August term of the Franklin County Circuit Court will convene here next Monday, August I, wth Judge R. A. Breuer on the bench, and will be In session for two weeks. Probably the most important cases to come before the court this term are the many condemnation suits for the highways. Mast of these are on the new traffic relief highway, 66. The court, of course, will not be in session Tuesday on acount of the Primary election being that day. Cob Pipes Help Candidate In Texas The National Cob Pipe Works got out a large order of corn cob pipes for a Texas candidate for office. The pipes were out of large rough cobs, no trimmings at all, with the candidate's name on the front of the pipe. Mr. Reinhard, superintendent, received a letter this week that the corn cob pipes had helped the candidate to win in the primary. The size of these pipes brings out a question whether they were filled with tobacco or whether they were used to store eight fluid ounces of another product of corn. II "Ma" Ferguson has real opposition In the general election, It is believed the National Cob Pipe Works may get an order for a million of these pipes, assuredly an original creation by Mr. Reinhard. Fish Killed in Bourbeuse A large number cf fish were killed in the Bourbeuse River last week, when the heavy rains fell, and flushed out the sewer lines of this city, and many hundreds of dead fish were floating on the river from the Red bridge all the way to Goode's Mill, about 5 miles east of Union.

Franklin County is fortunate this year in having tltree Franklin County men on the Republican ticket. A. II. Steinbeck is seeking the nomination for State Treasurer. It will be remembered that Mr. Steinbeck ran four years ago for this nomination, finishing s.c-ond in the race, and he defeated h.s present opponent, Lufcy, by more than 25,000 votes. W. L. Cole Is seeking the nomination for one of the Judges of Supreme Court from Division No. two. Five have filed for this office, for which two are to be nominated. Carl J.

H. Dlck-bradcr for Congressman. Quite a number of candidates arc using advertising space in this week's issue of The Republican-Tribune to get their candidacies before the people.

See the ad in this Issue. 17 Day Bank Moratorium in Hermann After many meetings, conferences and deliberations the three largest banks In Hermann and in the county lust night (Friday) concluded to give up their Individuality, form a new bank and eventually fade out of the picture. The three banks, the only ones in Hermann, are the Hermann Savings Bank, the oldest in Gasconade county and among the oldest In the state, the Peoples Bank and the Farmers Sc Merchants Bank. The Hermann Savings Bank was organized in 1867 and has a capital of $60,000 and a $60,000 rurplus. The Peoples Bank was organized in 1904 and Is capitalized at $25,000 and with $35,000 surplus. The Farmers & Merchants Bank was organized in 1904 and has a $30,000 capital and $20,000 surplus. We are informed that the banks are solvent. The decision to form a new bank was caused by a desire to clean house and begin with a new, clean slate, free from doubtful securities of every kind and unhampered by depreciated bonds and real estate loans such as are giving headaches to bankers the world over. The general condition of the country and business, the depression and deflation have worked havoc with th? bond market and old banks with heavy bond holdings know not from day to day whether or not their capital and surplus be impaired. As quotations rise or slump on the mercurial seal; of values, the bank directors daily face the possibility of insolvency, not in the spirit but in the letter of the law. To allow our three banks, with assets of over two million, ample time to put their house in order and to Lhnrnuchlv go into the banking situation and with j the purpose of consolidating the three banks into one, thus conserving the Rood assets of all. Mayor L. R. Went-zcl this morning issued a proclamation declaring the period July 22 to August 7, 1932, a bank holiday. During that period our banks will not be open to the public for business.

F. A. A little dopster for the M. F. A. with the Washington Citizen as a medium, and I presume with the sanction of William Hirth, has stated that I am opposed to the M. F. A., and its success as a farm organization. Why he should tell such lies about me I do not know. I think it more a matter of ignorance on his part than a curscdness in spirit. I have always passed as a man of at least average intelligence, and that being true, I know of no reason why I should oppose the M. F. A. and its success. In fact I have given the M. F. A. more constructive publicity than any other publication in Franklin county. I have not advised the farmers to hold their wheat for $3.00 a bushel when it was selling for better than $2.50, and then were compelled to take $1.50 or less. This sin cannot be laid at my door. I have never by word of mouth or through the columns of The Tribune offered one word of destructive criticism of the M. F. A. and the files of the paper will bear me out in this statement. I did criticize William Hirth for his criticism of the Farm Board and its personnel before it was given a chance to function. The Farm Board, bi-partisan in makeup, was a fulfilment of a promise made to the farmers of the United States, and the members were appointed upon the recommendation of the farmers of the U. S. A. Mr. Hirth failed to be appointed a member of this board, and this may have been the cause of his criticism of it. The Farm Board is not our baby, and we offer for it no defense at this time. In politics, Mr. Hirth is a died in the wool Democrat. To this he has as much right as we have to being a Republican. He has never supported a Republican for office. He may have supported a Republican for the nomination when he knew at the outset he would not be nominated. As Secretary of the State Board of Equalization in 1922, 1 was instrumental in having the assessed valuation of farm lands reduced 10 per cent for Franklin county. I know the farm problem as intimately as any one since I was born and reared on a farm, and received much of my growth while walking between the plow handles. I know the tax burden, not only of farmers but of all people, and I solemnly pledge my best efforts as State Treasurer, and as a member of the State Board of Equalization, to lighten that burden for the tax paying people of Missouri. Respectfully submitted, A. II. STEINBECK. Candidate for State Treasurer. Circuit Court to Convene Here Monday The regular August term of the Franklin County Circuit Court will convene here next Monday, August I, wth Judge R. A. Breuer on the bench, and will be In session for two weeks. Probably the most important cases to come before the court this term are the many condemnation suits for the highways. Mast of these are on the new traffic relief highway, 66. The court, of course, will not be in session Tuesday on acount of the Primary election being that day. Cob Pipes Help Candidate In Texas The National Cob Pipe Works got out a large order of corn cob pipes for a Texas candidate for office. The pipes were out of large rough cobs, no trimmings at all, with the candidate's name on the front of the pipe. Mr. Reinhard, superintendent, received a letter this week that the corn cob pipes had helped the candidate to win in the primary. The size of these pipes brings out a question whether they were filled with tobacco or whether they were used to store eight fluid ounces of another product of corn. II "Ma" Ferguson has real opposition In the general election, It is believed the National Cob Pipe Works may get an order for a million of these pipes, assuredly an original creation by Mr. Reinhard. Fish Killed in Bourbeuse A large number cf fish were killed in the Bourbeuse River last week, when the heavy rains fell, and flushed out the sewer lines of this city, and many hundreds of dead fish were floating on the river from the Red bridge all the way to Goode's Mill, about 5 miles east of Union.
